Caspofungin Introduction
Caspofungin is used for:
Treating certain fungal infections.
Caspofungin is an antifungal agent. It works by weakening fungal cell walls, which allows the cell contents to leak out, resulting in the death of the fungus.
Caspofungin is used to treat a variety of serious fungal infections. It is often used in patients who cannot use or do not respond to other antifungal medications (such asamphotericin B, itraconazole). Caspofungin belongs to a class of drugs known as echinocandins. It works by stopping the growth of fungus.

Day 1 loading dose: 70 mg IV infused over 1 hr (as a single dose)

Continue antifungal therapy for at least 14 days after last positive culture; patients who remain persistently neutropenic may warrant longer course of therapy pending resolution of neutropenia

Day 1 loading dose: 70 mg IV infused over 1 hr (as a single dose)

Day 1 loading dose: 70 mg IV infused over 1 hr
Maintenance: 50 mg IV qDay infused over 1 hour; if well tolerated but not achieving adequate response, may increase to 70 mg IV qDay
Duration of treatment should be based on clinical response; continue empirical therapy until resolution of neutropenia
If fungal infection is confirmed, continue therapy for a minimum of 14 days; treatment should continue for at least 7 days after both neutropenia and clinical symptoms are resolved
